A Challenger Appears: Will VGC Track the 4th Console This Gen?

[Netyaroze]

In countries like Poland Czech Republic and so on it wouldnt work. No one would pay 200 Dollars for this. For almost the same Price you can get Xbox360 (200-250) or Wii and the games for this Consoles are really cheap (illegal Copies). Most of the people which ownes Xbox or Wii in eastern Europe have a ton of copied games. And for a much lower Price you can get PS2/Xbox etc with better graphics and Games for no cost you can download the games in the Net. The download cost over 3g would be three times higher then the price for the games. And the graphics are to bad. Maybe in South America and India it would work but not for this Price the Price should be around 50 Dollars to be really attractiv. But even if you consider this: A PS2 is about 100 Dollars and the games 5 maximum 10 box. So why would someone buy this thing ??



The Kids in eastern EU have not much money they are not willing to pay money for games. And such a console has no prestige for them. They would rather Spend the money on a PS3 then to this thing. I see absolutely no chance that someone in eastern Europe would buy this. Its extremely overpriced for a cheap console. Even if they would lower the price to 50 Dollars the people wouldnt buy it for the same price you can get an old PS2 from Ebay. The Price is no advantage if the technique (just the graphics) would be on Wii Level the people would buy it but this ??

The biggest mistake they made is that they think people which would buy the new consoles. Would buy this thing but thats false. It is not an alternative to the new consoles its maximum an alternativ to older consoles. But they are cheaper. And have a lot more games. For the same Price. And people whith less money dont care about piracy they care just about the price. If they have already WIFI, Internetaccess or 3G they already know games like Quake. And if they are really poor the dont care about games at all.

This concept is going to fail. It would maybe work if they would offer a real alternative.

We`ll see
